Katatonica

Paul Warburg, independent political Journalist; China Spotlight - for this one at least and Dr Russel Razzaque, British psychiatrist with an interest in international politics:

Taxi and minibus drivers generally.

You find the terms he used offensive? Why is that? Poop and pee are words for infants as he said, whom are unlikely to be on this forum.

Pattaya and Patong in this case, bad behaviour being in either one often. equating the whole of Phuket with Patong isn't exactly rational. On the other hand, general news about Pattaya and Phuket is because of the sheer volume of tourism and foreign residents. So now you know.

Rubbish. He just made up the deficit numbers anyway, pure fabrication.. There is no such thing as a trade deficit between a small country and one as large as the USA. It is a big market, they are not, simple fact. USA cannot sell a lot of goods to a small country because it doesn't have the population, but t he reverse is true. To try to equalise that situation is ludicrous.

The only thing Trump craves is to feed his need for attention, nothing else matters, worldwide slump or American recession, he doesn't care. He didn't get enough attention as a child so now it's 'look at what I can do.' Let's face it, everyone's talking about Trumpanomics.

Right. To which marine classification society standards?

How likely is it they allow smoking? On a petrol powered wooden hulled craft carrying several hundred litres of petrol/gasoline. How leakproof were the fuel tanks, fittings, hoses, too? And the tank fume vent locations..?

That was the highest building in Bangkok from 2016-8, King Power Mahanakorn, was wondering about it - spend a few weeks in a hotel right next door a couple of years ago. It has 200 units of Ritz-Carlton Residences in it, up to $17 million USD. Going to be a lot of peed off rich Thais there.

Why on earth would you think condo buyers have a choice between buying a property and living amongst poor people, thievery and meth heads??

They should of course be denigrated and if necessary for security, arrested. What else? They are either fools or supporters of pure evil.

You've seriously never seen a Thai asleep on the pavement? And how many Thai men go to Europe? Hefty fine? What for? He wasn't hurting anyone either, just sleepy.. Before you ask, no, I have never done that, but live and let live, he's on holiday.

I had crippling sciatica, that I'd had for years, almost fixed with one massage at a place in Bang Tao, Phuket. Prior to that an ex-England Rugby team physiotherapist had completely failed to help at all by massage nor acupuncture in a lot of expensive sessions. A few more Thai massage sessions and it's absolutely cured. Not a twinge in well over a decade. It certainly can work if done by someone who knows what they're doing.

There is an existing certification system for properly anatomically, pressure point etc trained massage practitioners.

Or he was just determined to overtake the motorbike he starts to pass on the corner, in the video. It probably passed him earlier which annoyed him. I do not see any brake lights on the bus going into the corner, or at all. The bikers were lucky to stop in time.
